Hello, friends. I’ve fled to the country with a sore throat, because with no health insurance, one often needs the consultation of a kindly (and free) doctor. Luckily, I’ve got a step-father with a stethoscope.

But in addition to the strep test, Dr. Ken has provided me with some excellent blog fodder: He greeted me with this image this morning, after attempting to become Sarah Palin on the Instyle Celebrity Hairstyle Makeover site.

I think he’s a dead ringer– you?

In any case, I hope you all try out this piece of hair magic. I’ll take some antibiotics and work on posting some more illuminating newses.
